70301A Agilent Tracking Generator

The 70301A is a tracking generator from Agilent. A signal generator is a device that creates electronic signals, repeating or non-repeating, in the digital or analog domains, depending on need. Signal generators design, test, troubleshoot, and repair electronic devices across many different industries and applications.

An Keysight Agilent HP 70301A microwave tracking generator adds stimulus-response measurement to an Keysight Agilent HP 70000 series spectrum analyzer, enabling accurate characterization of gain, frequency response, isolation, and return loss. The wide dynamic range (>130 dB with 70301A and 71210C) makes accurate measurements of filter rejection and switch isolation without the need for time-consuming averaging. The system has very high selectivity, with resolution bandwidths as narrow as 10 Hz. High selectivity allows measurements in the presence of other signals -- a key advantage when measuring LO-to-RF isolation of a mixer or the return loss of an active antenna system. Unlike a point-by-point measurement system, the Agilent 70000 scalar system sweeps quickly and provides continuous data. The system is controlled using Keysight Agilent HP 70871A scalar personality.
